Prairie?
I used to think the name was silly. Maybe it's because I'm stuck in bed with the flu, but I think it's pretty cool at the moment. I love the nature-ness of it and the image it evokes. What do you all think? Is my brain addled by all the vomiting and fever? What kind of name would you pair with Prairie?

I don't know if I'd use it as a first name but I do like the idea of it alot... I would have to think about it...All I keep thinking is Amber Prairie or Prairie Blossom or WAIT.... wasn't there a Sesame Street charactor Prairie Dawn?

I love it!I think it's adorable and quirky without being too cutesy.

Reminds me of Little House on the Prairie too much...Both the books and the tv show, and the spin-off, Little Mosque on the Prairie. I can't see this as a first name, maybe as a middle name, but I really don't think I could hear it without thinking of one of those shows.

Prairie should be put in the middle name slot, if used as a name at all. It's too wordy to be used as a first name.

I think it's fine if it has meaning for the parents. Say I left the prairies and wanted to honour my hometown, kinda thing. But I would definitely put it in the middle name spot, I find it too silly for a first name. But I also find Willow, Wren, Sparrow, and other such naturey names a little ridiculous unless they can be redeemed by some meaning.

I think it's horrible. It makes me think of a prairie dog, like it's an insult.

Prairie is a huge GP for me!
If Sierra, Savannah or River can work as names, why not Prairie?

I would like it, but all I can think of is Prairie Dawn from Sesame Street! That aside, I can see it working in IRL (at least as much as Meadow).
